It doesn't seem possible, but Costa Bingo are celebrating their ninth birthday in July. Online bingo has changed so much in that time but one thing that hasn't changed is the need to have a party. Costa are celebrating their anniversary with a series of prize games called Beach Birthday. Get involved for the chance to win £1000 of holiday vouchers.

Beach Birthday games take place at Costa Bingo every Saturday night in July. Eyes does is at 9pm and tickets cost just 20p. These are 75 ball games with the £1000 holiday vouchers or £1000 cash alternative the full house prize. In the event of multiple winners this pot will be shared. In addition, 1TG and 2TG players will share a £500 cash prize.

£6000 Of Prizes To Be Won

The first Beach Birthday game takes place on the 7th July. Tickets are available to purchase now. Just login to the lobby via mobile, app, tablet or desktop. The remaining games will take place on the 14th, 21st and 28th July 2018. In total there will be £6000 of prizes on offer.

If you ever needed a gauge on how bingo has changed over the years then previous birthday celebations are a good marker. This is something we did in 2017 for Costa's eighth birthday. What's most interesting here is that the Beach Birthday promo is the same one that they used in 2017. However just 12 months ago tickets for the game cost £5 but players could earn free cards by depositing and wagering.

120 Free Bingo Tickets

Of course this is all a far cry from the days of £100K free bingo giveaways and car prizes. One thing that has stuck at Costa Bingo though is their £5 no deposit bonus for new players. They're now the only site in the Ignite group to hold this feature. However, they have - along with their sister sites - have made changes to the deposit bonus.

As reported earlier in the week, Ignite Bingo brands are now offering 120 free bingo tickets on first deposit. Second and third deposits get rewarded with a further 60 and 30 tickets respectively. These tickets can only be used in selected rooms, but wins from them are paid as cash.

Here's to a happy birthday to Costa Bingo. We wonder what the bingo landscape will be like when we celebrate 10 years of this brand?
